DMX's appearance over promoted?


It's been a while since I watched this movie but I think DMX's appearance was over promoted. During commercials they used him as if he was a main supporting character but if I recall he only had one scene in the movie in which he died. His character had no importance to the film. In The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, they didn't even promote Bow Wow as much and his role was waay more important than DMX's.

DMX was one of the biggest rap stars in the world at the time, can you really blame them

reply

Yeah, I agree. They did over-promote him in the sense that made him look like if he was going to be one of the main characters and his role sucked. Yes, he is a good rapper and everything, but it sucks when the people give you big hopes and then the outcome is not what you expect it.

A good rapper lol. His *beep* was all the same. He was cookiecutter. He couldnt freestyle at all. They showed him trying to freestyle one time with a bunch of other rappers (good ones) and they were joking on him and saying how horrible he was. His stuff was all the same (even the beats). He was a joke and still is.

I just think its sad. He could have remained wealthy until death. All the money he made from music and movies. Now, he is just washed up.

i remember women screaming in the theater when his character got killed.. I had to fight back a laugh, it was so trippy.. DMX did have a huge fan base back then, it was like Ice Cube's first couple of films in the early 90s, people were hanging on his every word..

He was used to bring in more people due to his popularity at the time. Very similar to Usher in The Faculty.
